Which coffee is costly?
Kopi luwak is the world’s most exclusive (and most expensive) coffee. The main factor of its high price is the uncommon method of production. It is produced from coffee beans which have been partially digested by the indonesian palm civet and then excreted. Specific to indonesia, kopi luwak coffee is processed by wild asian palm civets. The civets find the ripest and freshest coffee cherries and through the magic of their digestive enzymes, they break down the beans.
How many coffees can I make with 1 kg of ground coffee?
If you brew a 300ml cup (a fairly standard mug size in Aussie households), you’ll use around 18 grams of coffee per brew. That translates to roughly 55 brews per kilogram. The standard “golden ratio” for coffee is 1:16 – that’s one part coffee to 16 parts water by weight. For example, if you’re using 20 grams of coffee, you’ll need 320 grams (or milliliters) of water. This ratio is a great starting point for most brewing methods and balances strength and flavor.The SCAE (Speciality Coffee Association of Europe) recommends using 60 grams of coffee per litre of water. For a cup size of 200 millilitres you therefore need twelve grams of coffee powder.
